Cut-off Flower Water






















Makes the bouquets last longer.

Ingredients:
7 dl Water (1 dl = 100 ml)
1 ts Vinegar
1 ea Aspirin or equivalent (containing acetylsalicylic acid)
1 ts Sugar

Crush the aspirin and blend everything together and add to the water in the vase.

• The sugar is nourishment for the flowers, while the acid kills the microorganisms
that block the stems from sucking up water.

• For roses you can also use a lemon soft drink (For example:
“Schweppes”).
